Philly is a city that has been through it all. It has seen its high and its low. Its not what it used to be, yet it still manages to be the top 5 city in the country since its founding, one of the largest media markets and highest GDP too.Not bad.

I don't even think of Philly as a top 5 honestly.

I don't either. I had to look it up to make sure that he was correct.

To be fair, Dallas barely makes it in the top 10 largest cities. Just saying

LOL "to be fair". There's nothing fair about what you said but your funny kid. I'll give you that

I find both comparable and both are very respected cities. Between the two I have to go with Philly but I can see with time I may prefer Dallas more as it establishes itself
